Maximize your efficiency in asphalt cutting and soft-rock excavation with the Merit Wide Chisel Cross (also known as an Asphalt Cutter), specifically designed for the Atlas Copco / Epiroc SB 702 hydraulic breaker. This precision-engineered tool features a broad, cross-oriented blade that excels in applications where standard moil points or narrow chisels fail to provide the necessary surface area for clean, efficient separation.

Why Choose the Merit SB 702 Wide Chisel?
The SB 702 is a powerhouse for mid-sized carriers, and using the correct wide-cross tool is essential for specialized demolition tasks. The Merit version offers several key advantages:
1. Precision Asphalt & Soft Material Cutting
The cross-cut wide blade is designed to act like a heavy-duty spade. It is the perfect tool for cutting neat lines in asphalt, removing frozen ground, or cleaning out soft rock foundations where a narrow tool would simply bury itself without breaking the material.
2. Advanced Forging Process
Our chisels are forged from high-tensile alloy steel and undergo a specific isothermal heat treatment. This results in a blade that stays sharp longer and resists “rolling” at the edges, even when working in abrasive materials like road surfaces.
3. Perfect Shank Fit
The shank of the 3363 0824 23 is machined to the exact tolerances of the SB 702 bushing. This ensures that the impact energy from the piston is transferred evenly across the wide blade, preventing eccentric loads that can stress the breaker’s front head.
Key Benefits
- High Productivity: Covers more surface area per blow, reducing the time required for roadwork and trenching.
- Structural Durability: Engineered to prevent snapping at the neck, a common failure point in inferior wide-blade tools.
- Versatility: Ideal for asphalt, hard-packed clay, and sedimentary rock.
Operator Tips for Wide Tools
- Avoid Hard Rock: Wide chisels are not designed for hard granite or reinforced concrete. Using them on high-PSI materials can cause the tool to overheat and break.
- Keep it Vertical: Always maintain a 90° angle to the work surface. Side-loading a wide tool puts immense pressure on the breaker’s retainer pins.
- Sharpness Matters: Regularly check the blade. A slightly dull blade can be touched up with a grinder (avoiding excessive heat) to maintain cutting speed.
